Although almost everything was destroyed, the Castello dell'Amendolea, also known as Ruffo di Amendolea, is one of the greatest Greek symbols of the province of Reggio Calabria. Victim of numerous Saracen raids, with extensive renovations, the castle in ruins to this day, occupies much of the cliff where it was built for the dominant defensive position.

Rocca del Drago

Highlight • Natural Monument

In this place there is the so-called Rocca del Drago (in dialect "Rokka du Traku"), which in fact resembles a three-eyed dragon. According to sources it is believed that these were created by humans in the Neolithic age, but there is also the hypothesis that it was a natural phenomenon.
